Hello Tom,
Thank you for your response.
I have tried: [LIST=1]
[]to use the package you had suggested: http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/percona-release-0.1-2.noarch.rpm
[]to use the package: http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/redhat/0.1-1/percona-release-0.1-1.noarch.rpm

[]to use the package: http://www.percona.com/downloads/percona-release/percona-release-0.0-1.x86_64.rpm
[/LIST] I have tried all of these on: [LIST=1]

[*]a completely new the most recent Amazon linux instance (Amazon Linux AMI 2014.03.2 (HVM) - ami-892fe1fe) after a basic update
[/LIST] I have tried to google, StackOverflow, AWS discussion forums.
I have tried to apply this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24882671/percona-5-6-on-amazon-linux-ami-failing.
The result is that after
yum list | grep percona
or
yum install Percona-Server-client-56 Percona-Server-server-56
or
yum install Percona-Server-client-56
or
yum install Percona-Server-server-56
I get
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper
http://repo.percona.com/release/latest/RPMS/noarch/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - “The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found”
Trying other mirror.
One of the configured repositories failed (Percona-Release YUM repository - noarch),
and yum doesn’t have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work “fix” this:
-
Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
-
Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
-
Disable the repository, so yum won’t use it by default. Yum will then
just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it again or use
–enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable percona-release-noarch
- Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=percona-release-noarch.skip_if_unavailable=true
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from percona-release-noarch: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
The only different message is in a case of when I get
Loaded plugins: priorities, update-motd, upgrade-helper

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
This is what I think: [LIST=1]
[]The error mesage (the first one) is about being unavailable (non existent) and it is true - when I put the address to a browser I get 404. Why does yum get to this link? Is it in your rpm?
[]Amazon linux instances have some preconfigured repositories including mysql packeges. Doesn’t it somehow conflict with the Percona package? Could be the 1 be a result of the conflict?
[/LIST] It is hard to believe that I am the first / the only one experiencing this.
Could you please have a look at it once more? I would really like to give the Percona server a try because it has a very good reputation but I somehow cannot get to it…
Thank you
